Zaczek has done a superb job of blending the mythological portion of Celtic studies, with archaeological evidence, and beautiful photography of Celtic sacred sites within Ireland, Brittany and Wales. The book is printed in the United Kingdom, on that beautiful slick paper stock that shows photography in such a wonderful light. The book is not only informative to the Celtic researcher, but aesthetically pleasing also! Small vignettes are given to the myths, interspersed with archaeological findings and new research. This is a beautiful and interesting book. ( )no reviews | add a review
